Very productive day... (pic heavy)
Been meaning to take care of some truck love lately, so this week I was able to pull it in and rebuild the front end and do some rust prevention on the bottom of the doors. I kinda got carried away and spruced up both doors rather than just limiting myself to the bottoms.
I'll post some more pics once I get everything back together. Replaced every moving part on the front end, including the brake hoses.     Decided to redo the steering wheel and paint the guages.   A while back I found some pristine door panels at pull a part, so I snagged them, painted them and put some of that sound dampener stuff on the back.

Re: Very productive day... (pic heavy)
Looks good, did you get the cluster back together? I'd like to see how it looks painted green.

Re: Very productive day... (pic heavy)
Here are the completed pics. The gauges turned out a little darker than I thought they would... almost black. But when the sun hits it you can see the contrast and it looks good.

Re: Very productive day... (pic heavy)
Thanks for the compliments. For the front end parts, I just went down to the local 0'reilly's. Mostly McQuay Norris and some Master Pro stuff. Drove the truck to work today and it rides fine. The biggest difference? I sure feel the authority of the new springs and sway bar bushings. =) I don't hear anymore popping of bad ball joints either.
I've got a little bit more adjusting to do with the alignment to do yet, but it's definately an improvement. |
